The Missouri Pacific Railroad, also known as the MoPac,
was one of the first railroads in the United States west of the
Mississippi River. MoPac was a Class I railroad growing from
dozens of predecessors and mergers.

Missouri Pacific declared bankruptcy twice - once in 1915, when it
was reorganized and returned to operation as The Missouri Pacific
Railroad; and again in 1933, when it entered into a trusteeship. The
company was again reorganized and the trusteeship ended in 1956.
